The Cookbook winners were a first place nod for Solo by Anita Lo; a third place award for River Cafe London by Ruth Rogers, Sian Wyn Owen, Joseph Trivelli, and Rose Gray; and merit awards for Joe Beef by Frédéric Morin, David McMillan, and Meredith Erickson, and Cake by Maira Kalman (in the Gift category).

NMSG, a consistent winner at the annual New York Book Show through the years, added to its reputation by capturing three awards for prepress/composition this year, in diverse categories.
Kristen Radtke’s Imagine Wanting Only This placed second in the Adult Graphic Novel category. Blind Spot, by Teju Cole, received third place honors in the Special Trade Photography category. And D. Nurkse’s Love in the Last Days: After Tristan and Iseult garnered Merit recognition in the Poetry category.
The show, organized by the Book Industry Guild of New York (BIGNY) and honoring the “best of the best” in book design, production, and manufacturing, was held October 11 at Battery Gardens, in New York. Vice President Vicky Dawes and Director of Sales Lainey Wolfe represented NMSG at the show.
As book compositors, NMSG's focus is generally on words, but at this year's New York Book Show the visuals were the thing.
Two very different but highly creative graphic novels, a book of poetry in which the appearance of the book package as well as the type on the page are important elements, and a vividly photographed cookbook won North Market Street Graphics recognition for prepress/composition work. All four of these titles were published by the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group.
